digitelldigitell.com - Project:What type are you? motion graphic

'What Type Are You?' is a 30-40 second motion graphic exploring my influencing styles in motion graphics. 'What Type Are You?' responds to the criteria to 'educate, entertain and inform' for assessment in DIG28 'Animation and Motion Graphic Design' offered by Curtin University.

Project Overview

Motion graphic ‘What type are you?’ explores typographics that influence my building visual voice and online presence. Reflecting both the creative and informational styles I like to explore and immerse myself in (Cullen 2012).Influence and culture of contemporary/historic, psychedelic, minimal, geometric, 3D,classical and traditional typographics are planned. Typography, which shares information and stimulates feeling, increasingly offers a digitized experience to audience (Cullen 2012). The 40 second project will share the typographic character that has most impact and intuitive appeal to me, to build further design on.

Research into typographic styles such as psychedelia, minimalist, geometric, 3D, classical and traditional drew inspiration from dated styles and genre. Using Adobe fonts, typographic books and well-known influences to identify different fonts. Decoration is the expression of typefaces beyond shape, sitting position, thickness and continuity, width, height, serif and sans serif (A. Sherin 2018). Shadows, shading and patterns are elements of decoration that will work in unison with motion (A. Sherin 2018, 120).

Sample Compositions for 'What type are you?'

I had problems completing my final assessment for Animation and Motion Graphics Design. I am running a mid-2012 iMac which only supports OS for up-to After Effects 2019. My computer kept crashing and then remaining idle when trying to open the Adobe After Effects program. Here is what I handed in, 24 February, 2021.
